Family Festival fun

What better way is there to celebrate spring? The annual Family Festival presented by Puppetry Arts is set for April 30 in Park Slope.

The borough-based theater Puppetry Arts hosts this fun day of activities that includes characters from Star Wars, a bouncy house, arts and crafts, and a puppet-making workshop.

The event, held each year, is a great way to meet your neighbors and help out by supporting free cultural programs in area schools and shelters.

Family Festival on April 30 from 11 am to 3 pm; rain or shine.

The first 200 children receive a Puppetry Arts Trick or Treat Goody Bag.

Admission to the festival is free on April 30, but there is a $2-4 activities fee; $5 for tote decorating and $4 for bounce house.

Old Stone House by JJ Byrne Park (Fifth Avenue and Fourth Street in Park Slope, info@puppetryarts.org).
